The FBI can take up to four years to run their investigative course, if history is any indication.

The FBI investigates until they have exhausted their leads - even when their leads lead them to the conclusion that their targets are completely innocent. You CANNOT draw any conclusion based on the time they take to do their jobs.

What we KNOW is what they - and other Intel guys - have said: No evidence whatsoever, as of now - and they have been at it for almost 9 months.

It's gonna be a long next few months for Trump. And his supporters.

You guys weren't as forgiving in the 8 (9?) Benghazi investigations.

If they haven't exhausted their leads, how can they conclude what those leads will lead to?

Trump supporters have space bugs in their heads. It is the only explanation.

According to Comey, Morrell, Clapper, Brennan, Nunez and others, there is ZERO evidence - circumstantial or otherwise - that anyone in the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. There is nothing but continued insistence and inuendo by Dems that there MUST be a connection. WHY???

We KNOW that Michael Flynn was indeed surveilled, whether directly or indirectly, so don't tell me there is zero evidence of the Intel community surveiling the Trump campaign. What we do not know is if he was the only one. Likely NOT. These guys have been looking into this for a year. They have been busy boys.

We also KNOW that someone committed a FELONY by releasing Flynn's name and that too needs to be investigated.

Yup, they'll be looking into that along with their investigation into Donald's campaign and administration people's contacts with the Russians.

If they haven't exhausted their leads, how can they conclude what those leads will lead to?

The Obama administration and Clinton STONE-WALLED all the Benghazi investigations. That's why it took so many of them. We kept getting new bits and pieces of information by the persistence of the various committees. My sig was garnered ONLY by the very last committee, when they finally obtained some e-mails that had been held back, and it was the piece that proved finally that Clinton KNEW all along that it was NOT the video.

NO ONE is stone-walling this. No one has even accused anyone of stone-walling.

"WE KNOW the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest." - Hillary Clinton, September 12th, 2012

No it wasn't. The entire character of the conversations were leaked. That is why Flynn was fired - because he failed to disclose to Pence the true nature of the conversations that were revealed to the WaPo.

Furthermore, NO American caught up in a FISA sweep targeting foreign actors is supposed to be named. They have civil rights. That disclosure was also against the FISA laws.

They both flat out said it was a very serious crime to leak classified information.

I'd say that's a safe assumption.

By "Obama holdover" do you mean someone appointed by Obama or someone who has been on the job since before Donald took office?

Someone who was working in the Intel community under Obama. The Washington Post article makes it clear their sources - and they claim they have 9 sources - were people who were IN the community when Flynn made the calls. That was BEFORE the current administration took office.

Flynn was fired because he got caught...outed if you will. Like Manafort. Pence is no dummy. He knew what was going on. How Tillerson is pulling this off is beyond me other than he knows how to keep his mouth shut.
